A lot of you might not know that this city is our nation's capital - not Sydney.
In the past 12 hours there have been terrible bushfires that have devestated Canberra. In 12 hours (and at last count) nearly 400 homes and 2 lives lost!!

Dandenong Rangers huh, I live about 15 minutes from the Dandenongs - its a mountain range. Nice place, good eateries.

'Australian police hold two over bush fires'- from the Telegraph last time you had big fires over there. Talk about tough policing...
Still, if anyone knows how to deal with criminals it should be the Aussies .
And i knew the capital was Canberra as well, so

We had the exact opposite some weeks ago - terrible flooding.
Should have sent some of that water to Australia's firefighters...
Sorry, that was in bad taste, but what can you do. The weather situation all around the globe seems to get crazier every year. Storms, fire, flooding... Terrible.
Oh, I also knew that Canberra was the capital. is that offer for your sister still on??
